Cyclops hitch too low.

I occasionally need to move my sons boat trailer around but it's a pain to hook to my 1641. The jack will let the trailer down till it just touches the ball then I release the jack lock and let it rotate on the wheel to get the hitch down on the ball. This is sure to go bad at some point. I need to raise the ball about 3 or 4 inches to take some of the drama out of hooking it up. If I could find a piece of angle the right size I could make another hitch with the leg up. I can't be the first guy to run into this so probably smarter people than me have a figured out a simple solution.

You can flip that hitch plate upside down and raise it four, five inches. There's two sets of holes there.

Or you can back up onto two 2x4 or 2x6's

I didn't know there was another set of holes. I'll try that before I start making anything. Thanks

I dont think theres another set of holes but you could flip it up side down like what was said, use the 3 bolts as they would normally go, tighten them down and drill the other two.

Finely got around to flipping the hitch over this morning. I drilled 2 holes and bolted it back on. Already moved the trailer so I could mow under it. Thanks, it was a simple solution. Wish I had thought of it.
